FROM THE KEYNOTE:
Pam Harper
“As the world keeps evolving, leading your company to stay relevant and create real value is about more than adapting to change - it’s also about transforming for the future.”
This is what visionary leadership looks like.
You already see differently. We help you bring the vision to life.
You see constant change as fuel for reimagining what’s possible for your company’s future, and you’re under pressure to move fast.
You believe that commitment (vs. consensus) is the key to breaking the status quo to ignite a bold vision and strategy for innovation, transformation, and long-term growth.
You sense that what’s not being said can unlock your biggest breakthroughs, and it’s time to bring hidden issues out into the open.
“There are people who can take the way you’re seeing things, cast light on a problem or opportunity, and shift it. Pam is one of those rare people who can move the prism, and suddenly the light changes, your brain opens, and you say, ‘In a million years, I would never have come to that on my own.’ She’s masterful at leading you there, knowing you have to arrive on your own.”
